                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, January 6, 2017

  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ryan Moeller, who 
was recently named to the 2016 First Team All-Pac 12 list. After 
playing football at Rifle High School, Ryan walked on to the Colorado 
Buffaloes football team as a special teams player. As a junior on the 
team this year, he earned nine total tackles on special teams and 
forced six fair catches on punts.
  Ryan also played 391 snaps on defense, recording 36 tackles, with two 
forced fumbles. His overall play supported the biggest turnaround by a 
football program in Pac-12 Conference history. After a 1-8 conference 
record in 2015, the Buffaloes went 8-1 in conference matchups this 
season. Ryan's accomplishments are the result of dedication, hard work 
and perseverance, qualities that will serve him well in life.
  I am proud that such an outstanding athlete and upstanding young man 
calls the Third Congressional District of Colorado home, and I 
congratulate Ryan and the Buffaloes on an exciting and successful 
season.
